1. **State the problem:** Chris has traveled 14 blocks out of a total of 35 blocks to the bus station. We need to find what percent of the total distance he has traveled so far.
2. **Formula used:** To find the percentage of a part relative to the whole, use the formula:
$$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right) \times 100$$
3. **Apply the values:** Substitute the given values into the formula:
$$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{14}{35}\right) \times 100$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:** Both numerator and denominator can be divided by 7:
$$\frac{14}{35} = \frac{\cancel{14}^2}{\cancel{35}^5} = \frac{2}{5}$$
5. **Calculate the percentage:**
$$\frac{2}{5} \times 100 = 2 \times \frac{100}{5} = 2 \times 20 = 40$$
6. **Conclusion:** Chris has traveled 40 percent of the distance from his apartment to the bus station so far.
